What you can buy on ExoticPassport, how payment works, cancelling a plan, and when you get your money back.

- Keeper plan

- The Showroom
- Free to list an animal and free to contact a seller. We take no commission.
Prices are in South African rand, and what you see at checkout is all you pay us. Accounts that existed before plans began keep full access without a plan. See Plans for what each plan includes.
2.How payment works
You pay through PayFast's secure checkout, by card or another method PayFast offers. PayFast handles your card details: ExoticPassport never sees them. For a plan, PayFast keeps your card on file so each renewal can be charged. Your bank statement shows the payment as made through PayFast.
3.When you get what you paid for
- Verification: your request goes to the reviewer as soon as PayFast confirms the payment, usually within a minute. A person reviews it, and you get a notification with the outcome.
- Plans start as soon as PayFast confirms your first payment, and renew on the same date each month or year.
- Keep PayFast's email receipt. Your plan's payments are also listed in Plan & billing.
4.Cancelling a plan
Cancel any time in Plan & billing. Nothing more is charged, and your plan stays on until the end of the period you've paid for. You can pause a plan for one to three months instead. When a plan ends, none of your animals or records are deleted or hidden.
5.Refunds
- Changed your mind about a plan? If you cancel within 7 days of your first payment for it, we refund that payment in full.
- Renewals aren't refunded once the new period has started, unless we made a mistake or the law requires it.
- Verification: ask before a reviewer has decided, and we'll cancel the request and refund the fee. Once a reviewer has decided, the fee isn't refunded, whether the animal was verified or not, because the review is what you paid for.
- Charged twice, or for something you didn't get? We refund the extra payment in full.
To ask for a refund, email lourens@siesbru.co.za with your username, the date and the amount. Refunds go back through PayFast to the card or account you paid with; how long it takes to show depends on your bank.
6.Animals bought in the Showroom
ExoticPassport doesn't take payment for animals, so a refund for an animal is between the buyer and the seller. See the Showroom rules.
